Trader Notes: TradingView analyst Wavervanir International highlighted a potential macro bullish reversal forming at the $0.00001114 support zone.

The recent bounce follows an extended drawdown, suggesting buyers are stepping in at structurally important levels.

Key resistance targets are outlined at $0.00002393, $0.00003209 and $0.00004523.

The analyst assigns a 65% probability of a bullish breakout, with a 25% chance of breakdown and 10% likelihood of sideways chop.

Historical consolidation zones from mid-2023 to early 2024 further support the idea of accumulation in the current range.

Statistics: Data from Shibburn shows that over 16.2 million SHIB were burned in the past 24 hours, with 15.4 million eliminated in just one transaction.
